2 Roundtable

2.1 Adobe Roadshow

MMP told that Adobe will held a road show where they introduce
some of their products, and that one session is planned in Hamburg
(which is pretty nearby to where all attendees live :), so that there
is a possibility to sneak at their newest products.

2.2 DnD concept

CJ told us that the user experience team is working on a common
concept for Drag'n'Drop in OOo, to harmonize the different behaviours
we currently have across the applications (for instance, compare what
is necessary to drag a rectangular shape from application A to
application B).

2.3 New Toolkit

It was asked what's the current status of the "new toolkit"
project, which aims at creating a concept for a new low-level
widget/graphics layer, which is to superseed VCL, and for instance
would allow OOo to look like a native application on every
platform/desktop.

Nobody of the attendees knew anything about the current status,
perhaps because nobody is reading the respective *@gsl.openoffice.org
mailing lists ...

A discussion arose about the complexity of this project, and the
attendees agreed that it's quite ambitious ...

2.4 Large UI projects for OOo 2.0

A quick poll was made about ideas what big changes we would need
to/should do in the common UI for a OOo 2.0. Mentioned areas: The
options dialog (which is way too confusing in it's appearance/results
currently), the keyboard configuration dialog, and the documents and
templates dialog which was suggested to be merged with the file open
dialog.
